  • Love it

    One of the kindest people Ive ever met. But the most knowledgeable when it comes to business and leadership. Although I don’t agree with Andy 100%, his leadership is unmatched! I wish he would lead our government or at least the gov officials into better leaders.

  • My routine listening

    I didn’t plan on leaving a review but I have to say this content is great.

    The traditional media is on its way out I appreciate that DJ still brings in major news that I wouldn’t find because i won’t listen to the garbage on tv.

    I love the 75hard content but I am grateful for the world updates as well as keeping personal excellence as the forefront. You are in control of the world you see so I’m grateful to have strong voices sharing the message.

  • Idiotic

    I will never understand how the dumbest among us becomes the most vocal. The platforming of non-experts and the uneducated is simply bewildering. Dunning-Kruger podcast.

    Great show and have enjoyed Andy and Dj. Great points, don’t always agree with the details of the point but thats what it is about. Have shared the show a few times and never hear anything back but all good will continue to do so. Some stupid comments on the reviews seem to be recent… my only critique would be the sound, Dj always sounds lower than Andy, would be nice to get that leveled out so we don’t have to always turn the volume and down between the two. Besides thats 100% greatness here. T... more

    Wow, this guy is REALLY desperate to look cool and as dumb as one would expect from someone whose parents are clearly siblings. Drink every time his insecurity shines through! You’ll be hammered in no time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1020. Q&AF: Pushing Through Hard Times, Being "Too Nice" & Leadership Struggles
Q: How should I handle leadership when dealing with employees or team members from a past negative dynamic?
Lead by changing behavior and letting results speak for you; avoid lengthy apologies or over-explaining. Address issues directly, walk the talk, and maintain boundaries while rebuilding trust through consistent, effective actions.
1020. Q&AF: Pushing Through Hard Times, Being "Too Nice" & Leadership Struggles
Q: How important is it to be frugal early in entrepreneurship, and how do I navigate money while building?
Downsize when necessary, live below means, and recognize that you may need to sacrifice comfort to build momentum. Focus on cash flow and get creative with funding, understanding that long-term success comes from discipline and strategic reinvestment rather than immediate gratification.
1020. Q&AF: Pushing Through Hard Times, Being "Too Nice" & Leadership Struggles
Q: What should I do when I feel like I am too nice and I'm losing out because I keep helping others?
Keep your good, giving nature but establish clear boundaries and self-care; protect your ability to contribute by saying no when needed and treat generosity as a strategic choice, not a default. Over time, your actions will show leadership through results, not words.
1022. Q&AF: Fitting In While Growing, Finding Purpose In Success & Hiring Your First Employee
Q: I created my flooring business two years ago and I'm starting to hire. How did you handle the pressure of hiring your first employee, and how long ago was that?
Start with people who believe in you, even if you can't pay much at first. Cast a compelling vision, be willing to work alongside them, and understand that most people want to contribute and grow more than just earning a paycheck; create a structured path and culture that makes them want to stay and grow with you.
1022. Q&AF: Fitting In While Growing, Finding Purpose In Success & Hiring Your First Employee
Q: Andy, I'm 29. I work in tech sales and I've had a few really good years financially, but the things I thought would bring fulfillment aren't hitting the same. Did you go through that, and what did you learn?
Wealth can come with a hollow feeling if the purpose isn't bigger than money. Wealth improves when you redirect energy toward meaningful impact, particularly helping your team and customers, and by re-evaluating what truly motivates you.
